As for anyone offering help with WRX's, I would think Impreza drivers would
be the first to step up to the plate (so the streettouring list might be a
good place to start).

But, I ask the question.... does anyone really know how to drive a WRX to
its full potential since it's only been out this year?  I would think
everyone would be in the "armchair" racer position.  From my experiences
with AWD DSM's, they're have typical throttle understeer of a FWD car rather
than RWD.

I heard a few rumors it would be the ITR killer, but I haven't seen it
happening and wouldn't expect to see that happening until a while.

However, I am impressed with the Z06's performances this year, but wonder if
that is because of good drivers wanting to try the new car.
